I really wasn't very keen on the logo, actually like the name better than the logo.
However, I thought the logo looked modern & figured they might have had a different logo back when wood handles were around (1999 or 2000, forgot which). Then I noticed the 1996 copyright in phone photo to pretty much date the non-kettle. I also noticed the model 1530 UNDERNEATH the sticker that identifies the model as a 1503 (see pic in previous post).
When I looked through the GA history, I noticed that it says the model number for a black GGA should have been 1520 in the US and 1510 in Canada between 1979 – 1999 (which should have included this 1996) and then changed to the model number 1530 from 2000-2013.
So, as far as I can tell, this grill not only was the only 1503 model grill in the WKC, but it is actually based off of the earliest known version of the 1530 model, which apparently was traveled back in time from at least one of the years 2000-2013 to get back to 1996, to be made into this 1503 logo grill.
So, I thought, I MUST acquire this exceedingly rare grill, except that I'm really not that fond of the Shady Brook Farms logo, but I do like the name.
